OPERATION
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of the
closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the handles,
and the hand tool will spring open.
Crimping Terminals
1. Place the terminal into the correct die profile (A or B) until the
terminal stopped by the locator.
2. Partially close the tool until the terminal is held in place.
3. Place a pre-striped wire into the terminal and align the wire
with the conductor and insulation grips visually. See Figure 2
and 3.
4. Close the tool until the ratchet releases.
5. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of,
and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean
brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are
protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any
other equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such
as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000
crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies,
and store the tool in a clean, dry area.

Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or
closed. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30
days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will
not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping,
fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.
CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
CAUTIONS:
1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for
production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.
3. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
CAUTION
Molex tooling crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling
manufactured by Molex or authorized distributors (“Molex Tooling”). When using tooling other
than Molex Tooling with specific Molex specific connector systems listed in our ATS documents,
the Molex tooling qualification does not apply and the responsibility for full qualification of the
connector system is that of the customer.
Molex accepts no liability for connector performance or tooling support where tooling other than
Molex Tooling is used, or where Molex Tooling is modified.
CAUTION
A-620 and other industry standards do not supersede the manufacturer’s specifications. Some
terminals designed over 20 years ago may not meet the desired physical attributes for some of
today’s standards. However, these terminals will still perform electrically at an acceptable quality
level based on the qualification testing and years of successful performance in the field.
Notes:
1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.
2. This tool is not adjustable for crimp height; however crimp force is adjustable (See instructions above).
Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding, and insulation types may affect crimp height.
3. This tool is intended for standard conductor sizes. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all
insulation sizes.
4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts
available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.
5. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.) so the insulation grips
on the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping
Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.
6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.
